The largest and most varied of Buenos Aires' neighbourhoods, spanning the area north of the centre from the park along the river to the edge of Belgrano. Palermo subdivides into several distinct zones: Palermo Soho (around Thames and Honduras streets) is the hip shopping and café district; Palermo Hollywood (further west, around Niceto Vega) is where the film and TV industry is based and where the best bars and restaurants tend to cluster; and the Bosques de Palermo (Palermo Woods) along the river provide the city's main park space, including the rose garden, the Japanese Garden, and the Planetarium.
Palermo is where the city eats. The restaurant density along Niceto Vega, Honduras, and Thames streets is remarkable — everything from Argentine asados to Peruvian ceviche to Japanese omakase. If you are in Buenos Aires for any length of time, you will spend part of most evenings here.
